Ambiente, A Landscape Hotel: Sedona’s Premier Natural Escape

Experience a carbon-neutral sanctuary where architecture disappears into the ancient red rocks. Owned and operated by "Two Sister Bosses," Jennifer May and Colleen TeBrake, Ambiente® Sedona is a pioneer in regenerative luxury. Perched on the border of the Coconino National Forest, this exclusive adult-only retreat is designed to inspire the spirit and restore the senses through an uncompromised connection to the natural world.

From the restoration of ancient onsite waterways to the "IMAX-like" views of Brins Mesa, Ambiente is more than a hotel—it is a collection of 40 elevated Atriums featuring private rooftop terraces. Here, luxury is defined by the silence of the desert, the rush of the creek, and the brilliance of a certified Dark Sky.

Ideal For: The Inspired Seeker (Couples & Eco-Conscious Retreats), Visionary Gatherings (Exclusive Buyouts), and Bespoke Celebrations.

Accommodations

Interiors at Ambiente are designed with a casual elegance that soothes, featuring live-edge wood, earth-toned textiles, and floor-to-ceiling bronzed glass that grants 180-degree views of the surrounding landscape.

• The Atriums: These elevated, free-standing structures offer 576 square feet of interior living space paired with a matching 576-square-foot private rooftop terrace. Each rooftop is a secluded sanctuary complete with a daybed and fire pit—perfect for witnessing the silhouettes of the red rocks under the Milky Way.

• Specialized Sanctuaries: Choose from Landscape Atriums for sweeping forest vistas, Creekside Atriums to enjoy the relaxing sound of flowing water, or Reflections Atriums for an intimate look at native Arizona cypress and ponderosa pines. Every stay includes a freestanding two-person Hinoki tub and organic Italian linens.

Amenities and Experiences

Ambiente blends the raw beauty of the Sedona wilderness with high-touch, complimentary delights that ensure your stay is seamless and restorative.

• Forty 1 & Velvet Spa: Savor chef-curated menus at the signature restaurant or retreat to the Velvet Spa for treatments inspired by the healing energy of the desert. The property’s lagoons and serene pool provide a lush contrast to the surrounding high-desert terrain.

• Dark Sky Stargazing: As one of only 20 certified Dark Sky Communities globally, Ambiente offers a stellar celestial experience. Your private rooftop terrace becomes an isolated observatory where the Perseus and Scutum-Centaurus arms of the galaxy are visible to the naked eye.

• The Uniquely Complimentary Experience: To preserve your peace of mind, Ambiente does not charge resort fees. Your stay includes a fully stocked mini-bar with local gourmet snacks, valet parking, and Lexus guest shuttle vehicles for seamless local attraction and airport transfers.
